Advantages: All good

Disadvantages: How dare you

There are no bad whiskys, only some are better than others.
That was said to me a few years ago by a well seasoned scottish landlord and I have not forgotten his words.
I have made an opinion on Single Malts and in particular the CLASSICS which, in my opinion, are the best.
But here I would like to mention some that are superb yet do not seem to get the attention they deserve.
The ISLE OF SKYE is a blended whisky which is beautifully smooth and mellow. It is, as the name implies a SKYE scotch and well worth a try. I had a few measures last night at the folk club and it was so more-ish I had to pull in the reigns as the night went on. Superbly mellow.
Another but with a little more bite to its taste is one that my son bought for me, WHYTE AND MACKAY. This is a double matured scotch blend and again, I moved through a litre of it within a week at the Whitby folk festival enjoying it so much that at the Fylde folk festival a week later, I bought a 70 cl bottle for only £10 and that will go tonight, or at least I will savour the most of it.
Another blend that I had never heard of until my son bought me a litre bottle (he went abroad for his holiday so I got all his duty free-free) was MACARTHUR.
all I can tell you is that it all went in a three day weekend at the Saddleworth folk festival. It must have been good.
I do like to try different whisky and each year when we go to Scotland to see the Tattoo, in the evenings it is my delight to talk to the barman and listen while he explains the different nectars they have on offer. I obviously have to sample them don't I?
I have to admit though that my favourite is single malt and either of the five in the CLASSIC RANGE.
The mood I am in dictates the scotch, either a smooth SPAYSIDE a dynamite ISLAY or one of the others.
Right now I am going to savour the WHYTE and MACKAY.
Cheers
